* The whole of the form prescribed in the first section, to verify the amount of property of the applicant, the oath of the party, and the certificate of the clerk excepted, must be done while the court is in session.
† All are courts of record, within the contemplation of the Act of Congress:
1st, Which are expressly made courts of record by the laws of the State which create them;
2d, Which have been solemnly adjudged, by the tribunals of the several States, to be courts of record;
3d, Which proceed according to the course of the common law, with a jurisdiction unlimited in point of amount;
4th, Which have the power of fine and imprisonment;
And courts which proceed according to the civil and canon law, having neither of those attributes, are not courts of record, although they may keep a registry of their proceedings, and possess a seal. The court should, in every instance, state, on the face of the proceedings, that it is a court of record, and state why it is such.—( Opinion of the Attorney General of the United States. )
DIRECTIONS FOR FILLING UP THE BLANKS.
A. District,—circuit,—county, or corporation, as the case may be.
B. State why a court of record.
C. After repeating the district, circuit, county, or corporation, insert the declarant's name.
D. District, circuit, county, or corporation.
E. Here set forth the regiment, company and line; or ship, corps or vessel, and the date of the original declaration; and if he has received a pension, the number of his pension-certificate should be inserted.
F. Here enumerate each article of real and personal estate, necessary bedding and clothing excepted, and subscribe the same. The declarant must also mention his occupation, his ability to pursue it, the number and names of his family residing with him, their ages, and their capacity to contribute to their support, in order that the department may be enabled to decide whether the applicant is in such indigent circumstances as to be entitled to the pension. It is the opinion of the Attorney General, that the words of the third section of the Act of the 1st May, 1820, "in such indigent circumstances as to be unable to support himself without the assistance of his country," comprehend those only, who are incapable of supporting themselves without the aid of the government, except by private or public charity.
Extract of a CIRCULAR LETTER from the War Department, to the several Agents for paying pensions, enclosing the foregoing Form.
"For the guidance of persons already on the pension list, or who may hereafter make application for that purpose, it may be proper to state, explicitly, that, as experience has proved the necessity of a rigid adherence to particular forms in such cases, no instrument of writing drawn up contrary to this form can be admitted as a proper voucher."

Sir
With thanks I acknowledge the receipt, this morning, of the decision of the Secretary of War on the Schedule of Edward Dickerson, which I immediately communicated. and also of the copy of John Glazeir's Schedule returned because, the Clerk of the Court has omitted the Amount, which the Court was of Opinion the Applicant was worth D
It appears, that the amount $24,15, was, on inspection this morning, found to be inserted in Clerk's Certificate annexed to the original Schedule but thro' some error or inattention, said insertion was not made in the copy of the Schedule - and I now forward herewith said copy of Schedule, duly and, I hope, ultimately corrected -
On the arrival of said copy at your Office tomorrow, I request your attention thereto, and under a conviction of your considerate attendance to the case I will entertain a hope of receiving, by next Thursday, the usual information, for Glazeir, in order to receive his Pension.
I remain, Sir, with Sentiments of high respect your obedient Servant John M c Neely

United States Pension Bureau, Washington, D.C.
Gentlemen:
Can you give me a sketch of the matter which appears in the pension papers of John Glazier ? He appears to have been a revolutionary soldier serving as a private in the Connecticut Line. The pension was granted to him in 1820 while a resident of Maryland and the reference is January 1820, page 544.
Is there reference to any of his children and does the name of Jacob Glazier , a son, appear?
Does the name Oliver Glazier , of West Boyleston, Massachusetts, appear on the rolls of revolutionary pensioners and, if so, is there reference to a son, Jacob Glazier ?
Any information you may be able to give me will be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
H.C. Adams.
